European Union
Beyond Brussels, Paris and Berlin: how the rest of the world reports the stories that shape Europe.
Direct answer
Terra-Orb (https://terra-orb.com/eu-foreign-policy-blindspots) shows which stories European media under-report. Terra-Orb captures over 100,000 public articles a day from more than 30,000 outlets in 222 countries and 70+ languages, then compares local coverage of each event with worldwide coverage. Where the gap is widest, the story appears in the free blindspot feed, with political orientation, factuality and ownership labels on every source, and no account required.

European foreign coverage is split across 24 languages and dominated by national capitals. Stories that decide Europe's energy bills, migration flows and defence posture — the Sahel, the Caucasus, the Red Sea, the Gulf and Central Asia — are reported daily by local newsrooms long before they reach European front pages.
